✨ Join Us for Our Annual Candle Lighting Ceremony ✨December 24 • 6:00 PM & 8:00 PM
In the soft glow of sanctuary lights, with voices lifted in song and hearts open to peace, we gather for our most beloved service of the year, an interfaith celebration that honors the universal messages of love, hope, and light found across traditions.
This is both a service and a sacred pilgrimage. Each person is invited to process to the front of our sanctuary, light a candle, and place it in a bed of salt while our full choir sings and musicians fill the space with gentle melodies.
Light your candle for whatever speaks to your heart:
🕯️ To welcome the returning light of Solstice
🕯️ To honor faith traditions that celebrate hope
🕯️ In memory of someone you've loved and lost
🕯️ As a beacon of hope for yourself or someone you love
🕯️ For peace in our world
What to expect:
Our full choir in glorious voice
Seasonal sing-alongs including
A contemplative, unhurried space for reflection
The beauty of hundreds of candles illuminating our sanctuary
A message of hope in these uncertain times
All are welcome. This is an interfaith celebration that honors Jesus's universal message of love and hope, welcoming people of all faith traditions—or none at all. Come as you are, engage in whatever way speaks to your heart.
Two services: 6:00 PM & 8:00 PM
Come find the quiet place within.
Come light your candle.
Come home to peace.
